What the Heck is the Common Good Anyway?
Wednesday, January 25
Speakers: Ai-Jen Poo, National Domestic Workers Alliance
Billy Wimsatt, Rebuild the Dream
Nick Troiano, AmericansElect
Kristen Soltis, Winston Group
In the midst of profound economic and social shifts, the “common good” is not often common across organizational, sector and political fault lines. NGen leaders have a central role in advancing both this conversation and the steps we take together to make that common good a reality. Participants joined in a generative conversation with dynamic NGen leaders to grapple with these important questions together. What do they – and you – see as the common good, and what role does the sector have in promoting it?
